Calling all U boat Captains. My name is Edwin McCain, If you don't get that joke then you didn't imprint on the 928 as a teenager like I did. This was one of the baddest production cars made when I was 16 years old. I fell in lust with it the first time I saw one. I'm not gonna use the word love because I LOVE my wife and children. I have owned two of these cars in my lifetime. One that wasn't all that hot and this one that is AMAZING. I have really enjoyed this car for the last 15 years but I have come to a crossroads. I recently shot an episode of a show called Celebrity Bucket list for the Biography channel. I asked them to help me bring some much needed attention to a school in Greenville S.C. called the Meyer Center. Meyer Center dot org. I love this little school and everything it stands for. I am hoping that the episode will start an endowment to help with the operating costs. The Meyer Center takes everyone who needs them regardless of their ability to pay. I have been doing shows and raising money for the Meyer Center for over a decade and I decided that I would put in the initial gift into the endowment except I don't have much cash at the moment. (long story) I am always singing about the true value in this life being about friendships and kindness so I decided it was time to pony up the "prize possession" and put my money where my mouth is. 100% of the sale price of this car will go to help me start the endowment for the Meyer Center. I will also include one of my personal guitars that and I will deliver the car and play some songs for you and your friends if you would like. Keeping in mind that I work mostly on weekends you will need to be a little flexible on the delivery day. Some of you are wondering "who the hell is Edwin McCain?" Edwin dot com This car has been expertly maintained by Ray Munsch in Raleigh N.C. who now works with the Ingram Collection, one of the worlds most prestigious private Porsche collections. If you have serious interest in the car I can put you in touch with Ray directly to answer all of your questions. I can provide service records that show that this car has new timing belt and tensioner, fuel lines, brakes, clutch an aluminum flywheel,timing belt,fuel filter, struts,clutch, a short throw shifter and new exhaust including high flow catalytic converters. I powder coated the original rims and "murdered" the car in all black. There is a custom alpine stereo with a subwoofer put in a custom box in the back, all with Ipod connections and (ahem) passport radar connection hard wired. It came from the factory with a 5 speed transmission (rare) and leather dash (also rare). It has Michelin tires with plenty of tread left. I have the original window sticker for the car and all the previous owners service records. Anyone who knows me knows that the fact that I still have all the records is a total miracle because I am not the most organized person in the world. It also should give you an idea about how special this car is. BUT It has some flaws. Brace yourself. There is a paint chip on the hood that is being touched up as we speak. All the gages work EXCEPT the speedometer and odometer. Those stopped about a year ago and I never repaired it because I never thought I would be selling it plus who cares because fast is fast baby. (and passport tells me speed). Cruise control doesn't work. Never tried to fix it, never used it. Ray knows a shop that can fix the speedometer problem easily. I honestly don't know what it would take to fix the cruise control. The odometer reads 119k ish but I figure that to be 120-123k. I drive this car mostly on road trips. It has the typical slight warping on the rear cap from general age but thats typical with these cars. I am embarrassed to say that I tossed and turned a bit when I came up with this idea initially but I know in my heart its the right thing to do. I know whoever buys this car will enjoy it as much as I have and who knows maybe I will have another friend when its all said and done. My life has been a beautiful adventure and I really believe the friendships I have made are the greatest reward. Bid knowing that every dollar will go to provide loving care to children born with developmental challenges. I have seen the miracles that happen in this place every day. Thank you in advance for your help. Edwin McCainOn Apr-03-13 at 15:47:03 PDT, seller added the following information: UPDATE. GOOD NEWS. A local shop in Greenville has offered to fix the speedometer and odometer as well as the cruise control for FREE. What an incredibly kind gesture. I am very grateful. Edwin
